It still makes perfect sense, imo. I wouldn't even call it incorrect on a technical level. The contrast between "man" as singular and "mankind" as collective should provide all of the context needed.

If I describe a scene of a story as "man goes to work," no one assumes I'm talking about the collective of humanity.
